Build Kernel Modules into Kernel...

Hi all, I was just wondering... is it possible to build kernel modules directly into the kernel itself? I have a kernel module (i810fb) that i want to build into the kernel statically. My graphics card (intel i815) doesn't support vesafb, so I'm forced to use the i810fb that is compiled into the kernel as a module. However, the i810fb module doesn't get loaded at boot time because of a bug... . Does anyone know how or if I can compile modules into the actual kernel itself without recompiling the whole entire kernel? Thanks.
